Evening all,... Thank you to whoever came up with this lovely shiney new thread title!! Grin

As for Fedora, well I looked and it certainly wasn't her I saw in the picture!! He did go to Italy though, I saw pictures on his camera of the Bay of Naples, and also a few video clips of boat trips. And that's when I saw one single picture of a young blonde who he called 'Fedora'. 'I took a picture of her as she's very attractive and I wanted to remember what she looked like'. Jeez, I had a bit of a go, but I left that one because I couldn't be arsed to have an argument. This was about 4 days before he left.

Anyway, onto other things. Had one of these evenings where I can't stop my brain from whirling over details from the last few months. Times when I believed him because it meant an easier life. Believing him meant not being called 'paranoid' or insecure' or told to 'grow up'. Believing him meant some peaceful times on my own, not having to put up with him stomping about, resenting the fact that he was here. Believing him the time he claimed he got a 4 1/2 hour train back from London one evening in November when he smelt of aftershave.

Arrrggghhh! I know there's nothing I can do to stop this churning, but I am SO annoyed at myself. There were signs, but I just hoped things would get better. He always complained of being under pressure at work, so I had faith that he was trying his best.

Am so tempted to contact his boss and let him know what he's being doing under the 'guise' of work. Obviously, I wouldn't do it, but it is so tempting,......

Need to remember revenge is a life well lived blah blah!! Confused

Oh, I like your wasabi title, NotGeoff!

I made a Chinese meal for a bf and his boss, many years ago. Chillis were involved. I had never cooked with them before... I got so much chilli oil under my fingernails I spent the meal with each hand in a pint glass of iced water.

Sooo sophisticated. Blush

CockBollocks · 04/09/2012 22:40

So we need 101 pointless foodie messages.

I bought a Feast today - first one in about 15 years!!

OhDearNigel · 04/09/2012 22:41

Right then Missy, hands behind your back.

you do not have to say anything....

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 04/09/2012 22:41

What's captor spray?

Portofino · 04/09/2012 22:41

RichTea - sorry, you said I hadn't answered your question. I have looked up there but could not find it. Maybe you could repeat it?

Captor is pepper spray. Most forces use CS gas but some (mine for example) use pepper instead

LurkingAndLearningLovesCats · 04/09/2012 22:43

have discovered sour cream makes everything better.

NotGeoffVader · 04/09/2012 22:43

I don't like wispa chocolate - it's too cloying for me. I do like a nice curly wurly though.

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 22:43

I remember asking DH to chop some chillies for me once, which he happily did.

Then he went for a wee Blush

From the noise in the loo, I think it stung a little Blush

DH now washes his hands religiously BEFORE and after using the loo Grin

I did similar, but mine involved repositioning my contact lens. Fuck me that smarted a lot AngryBlush

RichTeaAreCrap · 04/09/2012 22:44

I had a Boost bar today. Now that is what I call a chocolate bar.

MysteriousHamster · 04/09/2012 22:44

Clytaemnestra - what concerns me is not so much asking for clarifications, but insinuating over and over that the OP might not be what she seems and then asking for clarification on something as if to say 'aha, you've slipped up, all these people are idiots for supporting you'!

Whereas a) I like to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and b) think people can benefit from supportive relationship threads even when OPs are not genuine sometimes (okay, some may be damaging but I don't think this one is).

Yes a lot of the supportive posting is light and fluffy but I gather that is what is helping the OP.

The more, um, negative posters are pounced on (perhaps a little enthusiastically) not because of one or two posts, but because of a cumulative effect of posting many negative things that seem aimed at casting doubt and actually making the OP unhappy and upset. They're cruel, imo.

MadBusLady · 04/09/2012 22:44

Ah yes, OldLady reminds me of a piece of sage advice I received many years ago. I have always abided by it, and I pass it on to you now.

Never have a wank after cutting up a chilli.

MarianneM · 04/09/2012 22:44

British chocolate is shite.

Rich Tea biscuits are vile.

However had a lovely blackberry crumble today.

MysteriousHamster · 04/09/2012 22:44

I could really use some dairy milk after all this, mind.

Anyone else watch the Great British Bake-off? Yum! Am still salivating now!!!

tuckingfits · 04/09/2012 22:48

Suffolk now that's what they call spicy!! Ouch.

MadBusLady · 04/09/2012 22:48

Although thinking about it, a very light, dilute coating of chilli would probably be quite, um, pleasant. That is presumably the theory behind those warming tingly rubs.

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 22:48

I agree Marianne Rich Tea biscuits are rubbish, a bit kind of meh IMO!

Didn't Peter Kay do a sketch about rich tea biscuits??Confused

Rhinosaurus · 04/09/2012 22:49

Can marmite be classed as a condiment as my OH has it with everything.

plus this chocolate talk is making me hungry
